There's nothing left to say, yeah
'Cause you don't wanna try
And I don't want the pain
There's nothing left to do, yeah
I don't want the lies
Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your Mother was born
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your Mother should know (your Mother should)
Your Mother should know.
When I looked at myself
I said what the hell
And then I thought you were gone
But I knew you were too good
And I said to myself let me go
They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle
Once upon a time
We swore not to say goodbye
Something got a hold of us
And we changed
And you sat alone in pride
And I sat at home and cried
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is
There's no one else to blame
I just talked to my baby on the telephone,
She said, "Stop what you're doing and baby come on home."
[Chorus:]
I can't hold out,
I can't hold out too long.
[Chorus:]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag your tail
Well, I thought that the rain would cool things down
But it looks like it don't
I'd like to get you to change your mind
But it looks like you won't.
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I give but I don't get
